Past few decades witnessed the birth and explosive growth of the internet and the communications –most notably the electronic mail- through it. Studies indicate that although security measures are deployed, their usage is very limited and problematic. This work proposes a system to address some of the shortcomings of present mail security systems, such as underutilization, complicated key management and unwanted immunization against filtering-scanning. A two-layer message encryption scheme with domain level keys is introduced and a performance analysis is presented. An analysis of the improvement on the key management is also presented. Results show that, e-mails can be secured without significant performance impact, and visible ease of key management, by using the system proposed in this thesis.

Technology is integrated into daily life more than before as it evolves through communication area. In the past, it started with audio devices that help us to communicate while far between two ends of communication line. Nowadays visual communication comes in front considering the communication technology. This became possible with the improvement in the compression techniques of visual data and increasing speed, optimized architecture of the new family processors. These type processors are named as Digital...
A hybrid recommendation system capturing the effect of time and demographic data
Oktay, Fulya; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
The information that World Wide Web (WWW) provides have grown up very rapidly in recent years, which resulted in new approaches for people to reach the information they need. Although web pages and search engines are indeed strong enough for us to reach what we want, it is not an efficient solution to present data and wait people to reach it. Some more creative and beneficial methods had to be developed for decreasing the time to reach the information and increase the quality of the information. Recommendat...
